Our Origin: ALForum 2025
Born from the spirit of collaboration at the Anna Lindh Foundation's ALForum 2025 in Tirana, EuroMedAI transforms dialogue into action—uniting the region for a fair, inclusive, and sustainable AI future.
In June 2025, civil society leaders, academic institutions, policy makers, technologists and others from across the Mediterranean gathered in Tirana, Albania, to turn dialogue into action. The Driving Action pillar of ALForum inspired the creation of EuroMedAI—a network dedicated to responsible AI governance, cross-cultural innovation, and amplifying Mediterranean voices in the global AI landscape.
Since our inception at ALForum 2025, EuroMedAI members have co-designed their action plan, drafted policy recommendations, designed an academy, and launched cross-border dialogues on AI ethics, AI Safety and AI Governance.
Our Geographic Scope
EuroMedAI spans the entire Euro-Mediterranean region, connecting 15+ countries from Southern Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Our network bridges diverse cultures and expertise to shape a truly inclusive AI future for the Mediterranean.
